does that make copper better magnetic metal than iron?
Bake a cake in another large pan and then freeze it for at least 2 hoursThen you can cut it into any shape you want pretty easilyIce it with a thin layer first, wiping the crumbs off the knifeThis seals in all the crumbs from the edges you cutThen you can ice it thick without it being crumby and ugly.
Why not just make a round cake, and pipe an icing heart on topIf you go and cut a cake into a heart shape, you'll have a hard time icing the bare cake that doesn't have a baked edge that is firmHeart-shaped pans are cheap, BTW.
You're probably going to need 2 boxes of cake mixYou might be able to do it with one, thoughIf you do it with one, pour half of the cake mix into an 8x8 square baking dish, then pour the other half into an 8 round panAfter the cakes are done, take them out and turn the square cake to where it is a diamondCut the round cake in halfPut one half on each side at the top so that you make the round parts at the top of the heartIce over the cakes so that it will make a smooth finishVoila! You are done! Good luck!
I made a Heart cake last year without a mold-yeah I just used a silicone 12 by 12 or 13 by 13 inch pan and made a square cakeThen I let it cool and cut it with a huge pastry/cake knife into the shapeIt was a little tough, but you can do it I would recommend getting a heart shaped mold at a craft store or even a heart shaped large cookie cutter to help you cut the big heartGOOD LUCK!
NoSilver, gold, copper, and aluminum are the four best conductors, and none of them are magneticEDIT: Interestingly, if you drop a strong magnet down a copper tube, it will emerge from the bottom later than a non-magnetic itemThe magnetic field induces electric Eddy currents in the copper, which retards the fall of the magnetIt's a good parlor trick, anywayI don't know if the same would be true of silver, gold, or aluminum tubes, but I'm guessing it wouldI just don't happen to have any gold tubes lying around.
